EXCLUSIVE: Susan Perolls, Director at Loudmouth PR, reports back for TheMarketingblog on the first Audience Analytics & Insights Forum
The world of data and research is, in many ways, unrecognisable from how it looked 20-30 years ago. The sheer volume of data is, in itself, one of the biggest changes we’ve seen. While advertisers talk about data lakes, it might be more appropriate to talk about data oceans! [more…]

To paraphrase Dickens, for SME marketers it is the best of times, it is the worst of times! There is a dizzying array of strategies, tools and techniques on the market to help them reach the increasingly fickle consumer and that’s amazing.
However, the flip side of that is how on earth do you identify what is a ‘must have’ versus a waste of time and money? Who do you turn to to find out?

As Cannes Lions welcomes its mini Innovation Festival for the second year, it’s interesting to hear speakers telling us that, while the elements that make up innovation (data x tech x ideas) are driving the changes and growth in the industry, there is also a ‘back to basics’ mentality in the minds of senior practitioners.

It’s three weeks today until the Innovation Festival opens at Cannes, and so it feels that the countdown can finally begin. And with that, comes the excitement of anticipating what will be the biggest news and innovations we’ll see.
Given that the main Cannes Lions Advertising Festival is often called the ‘Grand Dame’ of industry events, it’s probably fair to say that the Innovation Festival, being in its second year, is seen by many as the upstart of La Croisette. It doesn’t yet have the kudos of its mother, not so far attracting the headline pullers like Gwyneth Paltrow, David Droga and Will Smith who are speaking at the main Festival.
